Low Test Scores Many students have been getting lowscores on tests and this is upsetting toparents, teachers, and students. Low testscores show that teachers aren’t teachingeffectively or that students aren’t learning.Either way it’s an issue with which we areconcerned. I propose the following: anyteacher who is giving a test should open uptheir classroom for study groups the nightand morning before the test. Maybe bygiving students extra opportunities to study,we can improve students’ test scores.

The Gym Room The gym room at the high school down thestreet from me is huge. Along the North andSouth walls are bleachers that fold up duringgym. Coach pulls the bleachers out for biggames. At the end of the East and Westwalls are basketball hoops. The ceilings arevery high and at the top of the gym are manylarge windows. The windows go all the wayaround the gym. There are also ropes thatare either tucked away or hang from theceilings in the middle of the gym. The ropesintimidate some students. That gym is myfavorite place.

Eligibility Being involved in after school sports andclubs is not a right. It is a privilege.Therefore, students have to meet eligibilityrequirements. If students have any “D”s or“F”s, they are not allowed to play. Also, ifstudents have behavior issues in class, theycannot be on the team or in the club. Lastly,students need to keep good attendance. Ifstudents miss school, they most certainlycannot come to practice. Being on a team isa lot of responsibility. If students are notproving to be responsible, they will not bepermitted to be in clubs or teams.
